I join this program because my interest in environmental issues.

I want to learn about waste

management that I can apply it in my home country soon. Then , by joining this program, I will get
more inspiration and motivation even some brilliant ideas which I can share to my community and also
institution

Marine debris is actually coming from people in the land. It’s caused by the lack of people’s awareness
to loving their environment. Many of them just throw the rubbish in everywhere even in drain, river, or
lake without any effort to recycle the rubbish which finally end up in the ocean.

To reduce waste input to environment, people should be given an education of green life. Local government and
youths can collaborate together for making a green life education center in their area. They can directly
campaign and teach local people for using reuse stuffs than single-use stuffs, waste sorting and recycling in the
education center by inviting local people. Furthermore, they also can make a collaboration to schools for teaching
them about green life since early stage

To prevent environment deterioration in coastal and island, Central government as the highest policy maker
should make a strict rules pro-enviroment for island management . Every local government or private sector which
given a permit to explore the coastal and island should follow the regulation and care to environment around the
island. They should make a good waste management, including preservation flora and fauna in the sea

Tourism industry should care to environment for sustainable tourism because good nature preservation will attract
many people to come and it effects to sustainable enviroment too. Tourism can implement an eco-bussiness which
friendly to enviroment. Not only giving advantages to bussiness but also to environment.

Various studies indicate Indonesia is the second-biggest polluter of marine

plastic debris worldwide after China

Indonesia's status as one of the biggest marine polluters on Earth was also
highlighted in the UN's maiden Ocean Conference in New York last June.

Hi, I’m Indra Jaya Purba from Indonesia, and I will be joining YSEALI (Young South East Asian Leaders
Initiative) Marine Debris Expedition. Based on Jenna Jambeck’s research, Indonesia is the second-
biggest polluter of marine plastic debris worldwide after China. More than 1,29 million metric tons of
plastic waste flow into indonesian ocean each year globally. Furthermore, A study published in the
journal Science in January (2018) estimates that there were more than 11 billion pieces of plastic debris
in coral reefs across the Asia-Pacific region and the study found reefs near Indonesia were littered with
the most plastic (The jakarta Post, February 23, 2018). We should take actions NOW to address all these
problems. Marine debris becomes a critical issue for Indonesian ocean. Let’s aware to our environment
by doing green life style. NO littering, NO plastic bags , NO single-use stuffs.
